I should have posted these pictures from a few weeks ago when I was at RPM celebrating one of my best girlfriend’s 40th birthday. We did a city staycation weekend to celebrate – a post on the weekend is forthcoming. But since my stomach is growling at me, I thought I’d post the few pictures […]

On Sunday, I met my friend Nycole for an early dinner at Strings Ramen Shop in Lakeview. I hadn’t popped by the area in awhile (fun fact: I used to live a few blocks from Strings Ramen), so it was cool wandering up and down Belmont before meeting up with my dinner date. The camera stayed […]

Hi hi, Can you believe that it’s already August??? It’s been such a great summer that I’m trying to make my peace with the fact that the season is coming to an end. Sigh. Anyway, I’m still doing the Project 365 thing and thought I’d share a few favorites from the past week. I don’t quite […]

I should have 100% posted this a week or two ago. However, better late than never, right? 😉 Anyway…. A few weeks ago, IGersChicago hosted an InstaMeet at the Museum of Contemporary Art. I went because I wanted to finally see 1) the Murakami exhibit that I kept hearing about and 2) my friend Jeanne […]

As I get older, I’m aware of two things that prove to be true over and over again. The first thing: create what you want to be a part of. Example: you want to work in cosmetics industry and decide to gain professional experience by applying for a department store job at Lancome. Unfortunately, you […]

[Do you think Leyla brought enough flowers? Ha ha ha. Loved it.] Sometime last month Leyla and I agree to meet up on Mother’s Day to collaborate and take pictures around the city. Plus, we met up last year on Mother’s Day, so why not do it again this year? (“It’s tradition!”) […]

I don’t have a real post today because I didn’t see much of a cohesiveness in anything I’ve been doing lately. So I thought maybe I’d just share four random things that I encountered since the last post. Ready? (Yeah, I know you’re just so excited.) 1) I cannot figure out how to get The […]

I made a random decision one night to attend the Chicago Flower & Garden Show the next day…with The Kid and The Little One in tow. I was nervous about it, but I figured that it would work out. And then my negatives thoughts morphed into photo ideas I could take. I took the negative […]

My brother was in town last week. When he comes in, I usually think he just wants to lay low. But this time, he asked what was on the agenda. Crap, I thought, I don’t know….I like love doing things, but the weather wasn’t ideal (it rained when he was here) and carting an infant […]

So it’s currently mid-February and 60 degrees. Yes, in February. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around this little fact. Seriously, where is the snow this year? From what I’ve heard, it’s been more than 60 days since the snow visited Chicago, and while some people are thrilled about it, I think the photographers are […]
